Ermelo weeping lovegrass response to clipping, fertilization, and watering
Date: 1990
Authors: R. A. Masters, and C. M. Britton
Summary: This experiment was designed to simulate the short duration grazing strategy to improve weeping lovegrass (<em>Eragrostis curvula</em>) quantity, quality, and utilization by livestock. To assess root mass response to clipping, fertilizat ...
Keywords: weeping lovegrass, eragrostis curvula, root mass, water use efficiency, crude protein, short duration grazing, simulated herbivory, plant production

Impact of grazing management on soil nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium and sulfur distribution
Date: 1994
Authors: B. W. Mathews, L. E. Sollenberger, V. D. Nair, and C. R. Staples
Summary: During 1990 and 1991, 'Callie' bermudagrass (<em>Cynodon dactylon</em> var. <em>aridus</em>) pastures grazed by cattle were used to determine the effects of two rotational stocking methods and continuous stocking on lateral an ...

History of grazing research in the Aspen Parkland
Date: 1993
Authors: D. H. McCartney
Summary: The Aspen Parkland of western Canada constitutes a major portion of the agricultural areas of Manitoba, Saskatchewan, and Alberta, with 86% of the forage production and 66% of the beef cattle herd. Most of the Aspen Parkland has been cleared of aspe ...

The influence of harvest management and fertilizer application on seasonal yield, crude protein concentration and N offtake of grasses in northeast Saskatchewan
Date: 2004
Authors: D. H. McCartney, S. Bittman, and W. F. Nuttall
Summary: In Saskatchewan, McCartney et al. compared annual and seasonal productivity, protein concentration, and N offtake by several adapted grasses as influenced by harvest management and fertilizer application in the central Aspen Parkland. Meadow bromegr ...

Persistence of cool-season grasses under grazing using the mob-grazing technique
Date: 1994
Authors: D. H. McCartney, and S. Brittman
Summary: The objective of this study was to evaluate the persistence of several cool-season grasses adapted to northeastern Saskatchewan under contrasting grazing pressures using the mob-grazing technique. Ground cover declined more rapidly under intense tha ...
Keywords: grazing tolerance, temperate grasses, pasture, ground cover, bromegrass, bromus spp., wheatgrass, elytrigia spp., wildrye, bluegrass, poa spp.
